RUSH: Jim Brown, noted NFL great, I told you yesterday he was at Trump Tower with Ray Lewis. Jim Brown came down the elevator after speaking with Trump and just gobsmacked the assembled media.  He said, “I love Donald Trump.” After meeting with Donald Trump, Jim Brown said, “I love this guy.”  Jim Brown said, “The three most important men in my life were white.”  People who gave him his first opportunity, his mentor, and his coach.  So he doesn\u2019t look at this as a racial thing.  What he heard Trump say about wanting to revitalize African-American neighborhoods in the inner city really fired him up.<\/p>\n

He came down that elevator saying to people, “This guy is gonna do stuff! This guy is a man of action.  I love this guy.”  Meanwhile, the media — flummoxed and depressed — turned to LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who says just the opposite.  LeBron James doesn\u2019t want any part of Trump and is out saying so.  So they\u2019re using LeBron James to marginalize Jim Brown, one of the greatest running backs — in many people\u2019s eyes, the greatest running back. <\/line><\/p>\n

He amassed all of his records in just nine years.  My dad was a huge Jim Brown fan.  I\u2019ll never forget being a kid watching the NFL on TV. My dad was blown away by the fact that Jim Brown didn\u2019t wear hip pads.  It\u2019s amazing what you remember growing up.  I\u2019ll never forget my dad telling me that about Jim Brown: “He never wore hip pads,” which meant that he was a tough, tough guy.  All of those rushing records in nine seasons.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jim Brown yesterday on CNN newsroom, he was talking to the anchorette, Brooke Baldwin, who said, “You have fought on behalf of a lot of the working class and middle class over your lifetime, Mr. Brown.  Speak to those people in this country who feel like they\u2019re not being listened to or being represented.”<\/p>\n

BROWN:  I\u2019ve been out there for many, many years in the ghettos across this country.  I fell in love with him because he really talks about helping African-American, black people, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n

BALDWIN:  You fell in love with Donald Trump today?<\/p>\n

BROWN:  When he goes through what he went through to become the president, he got my admiration, because no one gave him a chance.  They called him names.  People that called him names when he won, he reached back and brought them along with him.  He held no grudges.  The reception I got today from him, I\u2019ll always remember that, because he listened to us, and he knows that we can bring something to him to help the people of this country.<\/p>\n
